This poignant drawing by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, titled "Refugees", depicts a mother and child, likely displaced from their home. Steinlen, a noted French artist, was known for his social realist works, particularly his depictions of the struggles of the working class. The woman, shrouded in a cloak, clutches a walking stick, while the child, bundled in similar attire, holds a basket. The artist’s masterful use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and shadow, emphasizing the vulnerability and hardship faced by the subjects. This artwork, likely created in 1915, serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and displacement.
